The moral effect of a large re|*resenta-

Mr. Hobson Msj.l that he bad been
a-keil by outlying districts where only
five or t**n mineiw lived to act for them
by proxy. He had l*ecn iiek'il to repTC-

cau*e they couhl not afford to pay their

R. P. .MelxMinan, of Vancouver, said
ilwtt he had at firNt favoruil proxies, but

H. Seaman, of R^NMffind. did not l»e-

Mr. IIobtMin said that if the working 1

proxies tie was not going to oppose the

J. LuNMiunbc. of Atlin. pointed ont
that if the convention were held in Nel¬
